Rental Property Investor 路 CA 路 Member since 2023 路 2 posts 路 1 vote
Hi to all. I am new member of the forum and also we with family are new residents of this beautiful country. We want to enter house hacking/multi-family/short term rental as soon as possible. We currently live in Santa Monica, CA but I see that it is almost impossible to do here and within the Los Angeles area. I still don't know much about the US market and how everything works here, but I have a little experience from Ukraine and am currently actively studying the topic. I will be glad for any advice and help. Looking for friends and networking! Lets connect!馃檪

Hey Yurii! Welcome to BiggerPockets and thanks for joining!
Here are some tips for networking and making the most of your account.
1) I'd fill out your profile fully before you do anything else! As that will at least help folks that you reach out to know that you are a real person, with a picture and professional bio. Particularly be sure to include your goals for real estate investing so that folks can help you.
2) Go to the Search bar, and look for some local members in your area! Reach out to a few of the folks, perhaps those with hundreds or thousands of posts in this forum, and connect. You can do that here.
3) Check out some of the local meetups that you can find in this forum! There are so many so be sure to filter by your location.
5) Consider meeting with a few agents in your area even if you are just getting started! An investor friendly agent can do all sorts of helpful things, like setting you up with a search for properties or connecting you with folks who have recently done deals like the ones you want to do.
6) Consider analyzing a deal or two in your local market, just for practice, with a free use of our Rental Property Calculator (or other calculators).
Hope this helps! Please reach out with any questions you may have!
